Deck Strategies
Akiri, Line-Slinger and Tymna the Weaver
This deck aims to be aggressive in the early stages of the game, with a backup strategy of value-based artifact recursion. The deck also takes advantage of Tymna's ability to draw cards when dealing combat damage.
Oona, Queen of the Fae
This deck aims to mill opponents out, potentially reanimating milled creatures for added value. The deck also utilizes defensive measures for early game survival.
The Locust God
This deck focuses on drawing multiple cards to trigger The Locust God's ability, creating a large number of flying insect tokens. The deck also includes wheel effects to refill its hand.
Roon of the Hidden Realm
This deck aims to generate value by using Roon's blink effect on creatures with enter-the-battlefield abilities. This slow, value-oriented strategy aims for long-term advantage.

Summary
The game started with DJ's Akiri, Line-Slinger and Tymna the Weaver deck showing strong presence with aggressive early attacks and multiple card draws, owing to the synergy between Tymna and DJ's flying creatures. Josh's Roon of the Hidden Realm deck appeared to be setting up for long-term value with enter-the-battlefield creatures and blink effects. Ashlen's Oona, Queen of the Fae deck seemed to focus on a mill strategy, while Kyle's The Locust God deck aimed to generate a large number of insect tokens by drawing multiple cards. A key turning point was when Ashlen used Grisly Spectacle on Kyle's Locust God, causing a significant mill of Kyle's deck. The game is yet to reach its conclusion.
